July 25, 2023 - I loved this wine. Super complex with great balance. Too bad I've held on to it a tad too long, it has developed a tiny bit of funk. It a distraction, still a great wine.

There was nice structure and gripping tannins but the overall impression was one of tartness. Not representative of bottles that I've had before but I don't have any left so will wait for the next cellar tracker to weigh in.

May 7, 2019 - I am a bit disappointed with this wine. I realize these were still early days for Fairchild but this Sigaro does not drink as I imagine the Sigaros made in the past five years will drink a decade hence. It’s an elegant wine with much greater red fruit than purple. I didn’t find the wine as balanced.

July 7, 2018 - A nice surprise. Truly beautiful wine that veered toward the complex and subtle rather than hit you over the head. Terrific mouthfeel with velvet texture, sweet tannins, restrained but delicious fruit. This was a great wine, drunk at just the right time.

November 5, 2016 - Opened this for our blind 2006 tasting party. This one came in last for me. My first pick was 2006 Melberry Bond, second 2006 Ovid, 3rd was 2006 Scarecrow, 4th was 2006 Blankiet Estates and sadly last place was 2006 Fairchild Sigaro. Obviously they where all good.
